Thanks Chris, I was hoping you would encourage men to never argue with their woman and you did just that. Your justification for it makes sense too. I'd like to offer an additional justification from another perspective... Most men have experienced the shit tests that modern women love to give their men. I am now convinced that every time a woman argues with her man it is a shit test. She wants to see if he will accept the invitation into her chaotic/yin energy. The guaranteed way that a man will fail any shit test is to take the test. Btw, feminized men are often in their chaotic/yin energy too, and you should likewise not accept the invitation from them as well. This is happening more and more in the workplace with men that have some serious healing to do in my estimation.

When I become aware of my thoughts, I'll usually find good news and bad news for me. The good news is that I rarely dwell on positive or negative things in the past, they just don't interest me that much. I'm also grateful that I don't tend to worry too much about negative possibilities in the future (luckily I am more like my mother and less like my father in that regard). My worries go away rather quickly and I sleep well. The bad news is that I love to spend too much time thinking about ideal situations in the future. That makes me a dreamer, while it also makes me very good at analytically planning future things for myself and for my clients. If I am not careful and let myself become immersed in these future-state thoughts, however, I'll daydream my life away and get nothing done! Being mindful of my tendencies is critical for me.

I found the Buddhist concept of dependent arising very helpful for me to reflect on daily. It has allowed me to acknowledge the ways in which people have transgressed against me without resentment and without victim mentality. As I got better at it, I learned to be indifferent to my enemies and to those who do evil things to others, if I couldn't find love for them. Still struggling with people who do evil things to children though.

Thanks Chris and this is starting to make more sense now. Here's my question: As moral superiority is a relative term, how can we (or should we) reconcile a neutral ideology with one that is clearly destructive and harmful to humanity. For example, all Islamists are Muslim, but not all Muslims are Islamists. One of these two groups are clearly morally superior to the other one from a humanist perspective.

Yes, your last paragraph is what I was getting at. I agree and thanks for your thoughts on this.

You seem like a natural born improvisor Chris. Like all people who can do that well (eg. some comedians and musicians), you make it look easy - well done!
